Title: A heat exchanger, methods therefor and a nuclear fission reactor system
Inventor: MCWHIRTER JON D
IPC: G21C1/03
Filed: 2010-09-22
Abstract: A heat exchanger, methods therefor and a nuclear fission reactor system. The heat exchanger comprises a heat exchanger body defining an exit plenum chamber therein shaped for uniform flow of a hot primary heat transfer fluid through the chamber. A plurality of adjacent heat transfer members are connected to the heat exchanger body and spaced apart by a predetermined distance for defining a plurality of flow passages between the heat transfer members. The flow passages open into the exit plenum chamber. Spacing of the heat transfer members by the predetermined distance evenly distributes flow of the primary heat transfer fluid through the flow passages, across the surfaces of the heat transfer members and into the exit plenum chamber. Each heat transfer member defines a flow channel therethrough for flow of a cooler secondary heat transfer fluid.

Title: Request queue scheduler based on deadlines and slack credit
Inventor: UMANESAN GANESAN
IPC: G06F3/06
Filed: 2012-12-31
Abstract: Requests from clients 14 to a storage resource 102 (RAID, cloud type) are scheduled by scheduler 104. A service ID of a software application, a data size (weight) of corresponding payload, and throughput are specified in metadata. The requests are arranged into FIFO throttled queues based on service ID and then a deadline and a time credit value are set for processing a request in a throttled queue. The deadline depends upon the size of the request and associated service throughput. The time-credit-value (or slack credit) is the accumulated time for the missed deadlines in a queue. A request of a queue is processed depending on the comparison of its service time with the queue credit value (the time-credit being subsequently diminished), otherwise if the deadline has been reached or expired (the time-credit being subsequently incremented). Use of the slack credit provides high granularity of throttling at high bandwidths.

Title: Handling overlapping audio recordings
Inventor: OJANPERA JUHA PETTERI
IPC: H04S7/00
Filed: 2013-11-15
Abstract: Apparatus is configured to: for each of multiple segments of a timeline for which at least two time-overlapping audio recordings exist, calculate an ambience factor for each of the overlapping audio recordings for the segment. For each of the multiple segments of the timeline, the ambience factors calculated for the overlapping audio recordings are used to select an audio type for the segment. A composition signal for the timeline is then created, the composition signal having for each segment the audio type that is selected for the segment. The audio type may be indicative of a number of audio channels, i.e. monophonic, stereophonic or surround sound, and different segments may have different audio types. Low quality audio recordings may be identified and disregarded when using the calculated ambience factors. Audio types may be determined by ascertaining whether an ambience factor exceeds a threshold. The composition signal may be created by mixing multiple audio recordings, by selecting one of the multiple audio recordings or by down-mixing one or more of the audio recordings. A sound image direction may be calculated for an audio recording of a stereo or spatial type.
